Chapter 106 The Bishop Wants to Make Amends

The "refreshing wine" prepared by Mrs. Mina is obviously very useful, or rather too useful.

Sherlock, who drank the hot brandy, became visibly excited, truly showing his "excessive energy" that he always talked about but never saw clearly.

On weekdays, this consultant of the Supervisory Bureau always uses his strong rationality to restrain his behavior. And the occasional symptoms of hypoglycemia make him look quite lazy and always listless.

This is a very contradictory trait. It makes Sherlock's behavior of venting his excess energy very awkward. It's like some kind of sudden neurosis.

Sherlock is a celebrity on Glass Island, and many people know his habits. He likes high-intensity work, such as brain-burning cases that can make the brain run at full capacity, and complicated or dangerous investigations are also fine.

But he doesn't like to exercise, because Sherlock thinks it's meaningless to waste energy.

Because exercise requires sugar to maintain, and his hypoglycemia will make his body weak and his brain vitality will also decrease.

But even so, his spirit was still highly excited, which gave Sherlock a headache - a headache in the physical sense.

But now that he had drunk alcohol... As Sherlock himself said, his intelligence was indeed disturbed by alcohol, and that strong excitement, pride and curiosity overflowed. Sherlock became visibly talkative.

After talking to Aiwass about his grandfather, he began to talk about his previous wonderful cases.

Those were cases he solved privately and never told anyone about. Now they are just the right topics for conversation at the tea table.

Sherlock usually disdains to tell people the details of these cases and explain what he did. But now his words prove that Sherlock himself has never forgotten these things, but he is just too lazy to tell others.

It took less than twenty minutes for Sherlock to gradually recover. Aiwass could clearly feel that the frequency of his speech gradually began to slow down, and the time of silence and thinking was gradually increasing, so he knew that he was about to wake up.

Sherlock finally realized that he might have drunk too much. He immediately straightened his clothes and politely said goodbye to the others, then went back to the second floor to wash his face and sober up.

"Although Mr. Sherlock gets drunk quickly, he also wakes up quickly."

Bishop Mathers laughed happily.

In his impression, Sherlock has always been a gloomy and low-spirited person. "Like a clear river flowing in the dark", this is Bishop Mathers' impression of him.

"Now it seems that our little gentleman who is always serious is indeed still a young man. It's just that he usually suppresses his nature too much."

Mrs. Mina sighed softly: "If he was not born in Avalon, but in a country where the path of wisdom is legal... born in a place where he can show his strong and pure curiosity, perhaps he would be happier."

"Let's not talk about that, Mina."

Mathers waved his hand, indicating to change the subject.

He looked at Aiwas and asked, "How is it, Aiwas?"

"What do you mean?"

Aiwas raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Sherlock's alcohol tolerance?"

"That kind of thing is not worth discussing," Bishop Mathers couldn't help laughing, "I mean Eagle Cape Village in Muwan County... Do you want to go?"

"I do want to go."

Aiwas nodded: "But I probably won't take Yulia with me."

By then, Aiwas should have drawn out the phantom in Yulia's body and sealed it.

Even if Aiwas left some power for Yulia, she was just an ordinary girl with some fire talent, and she was not yet at the level of a transcendent - if she really encountered danger, Yulia would not be able to burst out the power of phantom to protect herself.

If she was taken with her, Aiwas and the others would be restricted in their actions. With their configuration, it would be a waste if they didn't conduct some dangerous investigations.

Sherlock would then become a third-level dual-professional mage and law mage. The abundant mana pool brought by the dual-casting profession would greatly improve his flexibility and strength. Its strength is far greater than that of an ordinary third-level mage or law mage.

There is also Haina, who should be around level 26 to 27, not far from the fourth level. This is a very standard set of combat, magic and priest golden triangle, and everyone is a master.

Finally, with the addition of Lily, who has no combat experience but has a wide range of perception and can work as a scout and thief at the same time, a perfect four-person light sharp team is formed.

"You are right, Aiwass. Not taking underage girls on adventures is a responsible brother."

Bishop Mathers agreed: "But if you want to go, I suggest you go after the middle of the month."

"Of course," Aiwass smiled, "I will definitely wait until I advance."

"It seems that you are full of confidence in the advancement ceremony."

Mathers heard Aiwas's subtext.

He just corrected: "To be precise, you should wait a few days after the advancement ceremony. By then, the number of holy sword skills stored in the chapel key should be restored."

Evans was a little surprised: "My Lord Bishop, didn't you say that it should be returned before January 1st?"

He came here with the key this time because he wanted to return it to Bishop Mathers. Because it will be around December 20th when it is ready to cool down again... which means that the holy sword skills stored in it will most likely not have a chance to be used again.

"Yes, January 1st is the candle ceremony. At that time, the royal family will pay homage to their ancestors, and I need to use this key to open the tomb guarding enchantment in the chapel."

Bishop Mathers nodded with a serious expression: "But I listen to Sherlock, there should be some shadows in Eagle Point Village. So I will lend it to you for a while... wait until you come back at the end of the year to take it Just give it back to me.”

"Then what if I unfortunately die in the village?"

Aiwass asked: "What should the candle priest do?"

"So, if you haven't come back by the 25th and 6th...I'm going to look for you."

Bishop Mathers said solemnly: "In order to recover the key to St. Guinevere's Chapel before the Candlemas, it is reasonable for me to temporarily leave the Glass Island.

"Despite this, it will still be a bit troublesome to complete the formalities later. If possible, you'd better come back early."

... Did you give the key to Aiwass so that he could have a reason to come to the rescue?

Avas was speechless.

If it was still an illusion before, or if Bishop Mathers has a kind nature... then it can be seen now that he is indeed very interested in Aiwass.

From the previous words, Aiwass easily captured where Mr. Bishop's impulse came from - it was guilt and apology, as well as the urgent hope to make up for his mistakes.

Although Aiwass's father was just one of the many students he taught to Bishop Mathers. Before Julio's death, their relationship had ended when Julio graduated.

But just because Mathers happened to be away that day, he always had a problem in his heart and just couldn't get over it. Mathers always believed that he had something to do with the death of Alexander and his wife.

But at that time, he was really afraid of the stranger who manipulated the demon to hunt down the Alexander family, and did not dare to take over Aiwass. He also dared not leave Aiwass to his parents or other acquaintances.

It is natural for people to feel fear when facing unknown enemies lurking in the shadows. Not everyone on the path of devotion is a saint who sacrifices himself for others, let alone Mathers, who was already dissatisfied with the path of devotion at that time.

Although the bishop sent Aiwass to an orphanage invested by Professor Moriarty, whom he trusted. But after Aiwass entered the orphanage and before he was adopted by Professor Moriarty, Mathers did not even come to visit Aiwass.

He obviously hopes that he can forget this incident that only lasted for half a day in his life and draw a clear line between himself and the unknown powerful enemy; he is also worried that he will be entangled by Aiwass, who does not know his personality, and disrupt his relationship with Mi Na's peaceful and happy life.

But his overly perfect moral sense prevented Bishop Mathers from forgetting the existence of Aiwass.

He couldn't convince himself to truly forget this incident, and the guilt that was originally very weak tortured him day and night, becoming more and more intense. Therefore, when talking to Professor Moriarty, Bishop Mathers blurted out this incident a few years ago.

It wasn't until Aiwass was adopted by Professor Moriarty that he finally relaxed and forgot about it for a while.

Aiwass had always thought that he was just a gift from Yulia and was adopted as a tool to appease Yulia. But now it seems that it was his name that Professor Moriarty asked the dean's mother-in-law at that time. When his adoptive father discovered that he was "Aiwass Alexander", he chose to take him away with him.

Bishop Mathers may have contributed to this incident.

Therefore, later, when he received the commission from Professor Moriarty to teach Julio's children sacred skills, Bishop Mathers opened a chapel for Aiwass alone for a day.

That's not what he said, in order to repay Professor Moriarty——

In a sense, this is actually an atonement. Atonement is a sin that only Mathers himself knows and cares about.

That's why the bishop repeatedly comforted Aiwass, who was in a wheelchair, for fear of hurting him. When Aiwass was unable to protect himself, he chose to lend him the key to the chapel he was guarding.

That's his job. It is the key to the Holy Tomb that he guards as the Guardian of the Holy Tomb... It is a very precious thing.

——Because fourteen years ago, Bishop Mathers had already regretted it once.

It was not that he regretted that he had sealed the curse and caused the death of Aiwass's biological parents. Rather, he regretted that he did not choose to adopt Aiwass in the end because of fear and fear of trouble.

He wants to live only for himself. But Mathers is a good guy after all, and he can't let go. So he regrets it now.

In order not to regret it again in the future, I try hard to make amends. But it was obviously overkill.

After understanding all of Mr. Bishop's thoughts, Aiwass just sighed silently.

Aiwass had no intention of admonishing the bishop to change his mind. He didn't choose to force the keys back... that would only make Mathers sad and worried.

He chose to respect the weight of guilt and regret Mathers felt day and night. Accept this concern openly and then protect yourself.

——What Aiwass can do is to allow this elder who truly cares about him...to truly stay away from his originally destined painful and tragic fate.

"Thank you for your concern, Bishop."

Evans put down the cup of milk tea, lowered his head and thanked him seriously: "I will take good care of myself and come back soon. I won't cause you any trouble."

Bishop Mathers just looked at Evans happily. Only his eyes were a little wet.

He obviously guessed why Evans suddenly said that.

Such a sensible and smart child...

"...Now that things have come to this, I really regret it."

Bishop Mathers sighed in his heart.
